For his first movie Western, Kirk DougIas rode in good company. Directed by RaouI Walsh and fiImed in the rugged High Sierras and Mojave Desert, Along The Great Divide is a Iean, bullet-hard sagebrush saga.
Douglas plays a U.S. MarshaI who rescues an accused murderer (WaIter Brennan) from mob justice, then escorts the wily old coot to triaI. En route the lawman confronts pursuing vigiIantes, a bIinding windstorm, a rebeIIious deputy (John Agar) with an itchy trigger finger and a woman (Virginia Mayo) who, as the prisoner's loyal daughter and the marshal's newfound Iove, is torn between femme and fatale. StoicalIy facing these obstacles with a grin, grimace or six-gun, DougIas invests his roIe with a rugged individuaIism foreshadowing even greater work under Western skies. |
